Chapter 606: Tian Ji Horse Racing

After agreeing with Qin Qin Aoxue that he would definitely watch her competition, Ye Chen took her back to the banquet scene.

At this time, some guests came to the banquet scene, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Old Master Song heard that Ye Chen had arrived, so he hurriedly came out to greet him, but by the time he came out, Ye Chen had already gone out with Qin Qin Aoxue.

As soon as Ye Chen returned, Old Master Song greeted him, happily saying, "Oh, Master Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Chen looked at Old Master Song and smiled slightly, "Old Master Song, your spirit looks still very robust. Have you been in good health recently?"

Old Master Song said with a face full of gratitude, "Master Ye, thanks to you, this old man who was about to die could regain his second spring."

As he spoke, he asked Ye Chen again, "Master Ye, how have you been recently?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "I'm not bad, everything is the same as before."

Old Master Song said implicitly, "Master Ye, you seemed to have some unhappiness with the Wu family before. Since the birthday banquet that day, has the Wu family made things difficult for you?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Even if they make things difficult, what can they do? It's nothing more than a bunch of clowns."

Old Master Song's expression was full of admiration.

He knew that Ye Chen had great abilities that reached the sky, but the Wu family, although they were the number one family in Jiangnan, still couldn't do anything to Master Ye.

Just then, Song Rongyu walked over and whispered in the old master's ear, "Grandpa, Young Master Kong from the Kong family in Yan Jing is here."

Old Master Song said with a look of surprise, "Young Master Kong really came?"

"Yes." Song Rongyu said, "Young Master Kong's car just entered the villa area, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon."

Old Master Song nodded and said, "Call Wanting, let's go out to greet him together."

After speaking, he turned around and said to Ye Chen with an apologetic face, "Master Ye, please forgive me for not greeting you well. There is another distinguished guest who has come from afar from Yan Jing, so I will go out to greet him."

Ye Chen didn't take it to heart and nodded lightly.

It was Chen Zekai who was a bit surprised. He whispered to Ye Chen, "Young Master, the Kong family in Yan Jing is a second-tier family. Their overall strength can be ranked sixth or seventh in Yan Jing. Although they are far behind the Ye family, their family assets add up to five or six hundred billion. The Song family is just over a hundred billion. Logically speaking, the Kong family should look down on the Song family. I don't know why their young master came here."

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "I don't know what the specific situation of the Kong family is, but with the strength of the Kong family, in a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers like Yan Jing, wanting to go further is as difficult as ascending to heaven. If you can't advance in the local area, what do you think they will do?"

Chen Zekai thought carefully and said, "If you can't advance in the local area, you can only expand to the surrounding areas."

As he spoke, he asked in surprise, "Young Master, do you mean the Kong family might want to develop in Jin Ling?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Jin Ling is just a springboard. The people of the Kong family must have realized that this is a good opportunity for southern development."

"Because the Wu family has given up the position of the number one family in Jiangnan, the key now is who will be the number one family in Jiangnan. Although the Song family's strength is slightly weaker, it is not without a chance."

"If I were the person in charge of the Kong family, I would definitely find a relatively good family in Jiangnan, then unite with him, help him become the number one family in Jiangnan, and at the same time make him loyal to myself and become my external force."

"In this way, I would be equivalent to extending my tentacles into Jiangnan and laying a foundation in Jiangnan."

Chen Zekai said, "Young Master, I understand what you mean. It seems that this Kong family should have taken a fancy to the Song family and wants to cooperate with the Song family."

Ye Chen nodded, "The Kong family came to attend Miss Song's birthday banquet at this time. I guess they have deeper thoughts, and they might even want to marry the Song family."

Chen Zekai frowned and said, "Young Master, if the Kong family marries, they might not look down on the Song family."

Ye Chen smiled, "This depends on what status the Young Master Kong who came here has in the Kong family. If he is the eldest son and grandson of the Kong family, the possibility is indeed a bit small, but if he is just one of many descendants, and maybe not the most prominent one, then the Kong family wouldn't lose out by sending him to marry Song Wanting, right?"

Chen Zekai thought thoughtfully, "If you say so, then it really wouldn't lose out. The Kong family seems to have a prosperous population. They should have six or seven males in this generation of young descendants."

Ye Chen said, "This marriage is also like Tian Ji horse racing. Just because the other party's overall strength is stronger than yours doesn't mean that every one of their horses is better than your best horse. Maybe their lower-class horse is not as good as your upper-class horse."

Chen Zekai nodded repeatedly, "Young Master, what you said is very reasonable, I have been taught!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled, "You have been deeply involved in Jin Ling for many years. I believe you can still understand this truth. Even if you didn't think clearly for a while, you can think clearly after I point it out."

At this time, Paul, who was idle with a wine glass not far away, really looked at Ye Chen with admiration.

He felt that Ye Chen had refreshed his impression of him again.

Because he never expected that the upper-class society of Jin Ling would respect Ye Chen so much.

The one who was by Ye Chen's side and whispering to him was the spokesperson of the Ye family in Jin Ling.

Even he was so respectful to Ye Chen, which shows how much influence Ye Chen has in Jin Ling.

At this time, someone in the banquet hall suddenly shouted, "The third young master of the Kong family in Yan Jing is here!"

This sentence made the whole banquet hall uproar.

The Kong family in Yan Jing is in the top 10 in Yan Jing, with total assets exceeding 500 billion, a deep family background, and extraordinary strength.

Just in terms of asset scale, the Kong family is at least 5 times that of the Song family.

The third young master of the Kong family actually ran to Jin Ling to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest daughter of the Song family, which made everyone feel a bit unusual.

Some people even exclaimed, "Does the Kong family want to marry the Song family?"

Others said, "It's very possible. Miss Song is so beautiful, so temperamental, and so capable. Even in the eyes of the great families in Yan Jing, she is absolutely a top-notch good daughter-in-law!"

Chen Zekai said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, this third young master of the Kong family actually has a good status in the Kong family."

Ye Chen asked with interest, "How to say?"

Chen Zekai explained, "The Kong family has four males in the previous generation. Each of them has at least two children, and each of them has a son. This third young master is the only son of the second son of the Kong family. Although he ranks third in age, his strength and influence can rank second."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "It seems that the Kong family wants to use their medium-class horse to compete with the Song family's upper-class horse."

Chen Zekai smiled slightly and said, "I don't think Miss Song can look down on him."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Chen Zekai said seriously, "Young Master, you shouldn't be unable to see it, right? Miss Song's eyes have always only shone with brilliance for you, a male. I believe Miss Song must like you very much. Compared with you, let alone the third young master of the Kong family, even if all the young masters of the Kong family are added together, they are not as good as one ten-thousandth of you."

Ye Chen waved his hand, "Don't say such things casually in the future. Miss Wanting is not married, and I am a married man. If such words spread, it will affect her reputation."

"Understood." Chen Zekai nodded with a face of being taught, "Young Master, don't worry, I only say such things to you." ===== CHAPTER 607 =====
